I have to make an intake for m y 8.1 on the cabover. The intake off the donor was broken when it hit the moose. From what I have seen on these engines the intake comes straight forward from the throttle body, mine comes up at somewhere around a 45 degree angle because it came out of a cutaway van. How rigid does the intake need to be to avoid collapsing? I thought about building one out of stainless of aluminum tubing but flex plastic would be much easier. I need to go from the throttle body to the filter to include maf and intake temp.
